πŸ“± On an iPad or phone: open the link in Safari, then Share β†’ Add to Home Screen β€” it becomes a full-screen app.

1 Β· Set up your family

There are no accounts or passwords. On first launch, tap 🏠 Start a new family β€” you'll get a family code (like TR7PK-2MQ4X). Enter that code on your other devices via Join so they all share the same lists.

Worried about losing it? Right there on the code screen (and later behind πŸ”’ β†’ Code), tap πŸ“€ Share to send it to yourself however's handy, or πŸ“§ Email me this code to get it sent once, straight to your inbox β€” nothing is stored, it's just sent and forgotten.

2 Β· Kids tick their tasks

Each kid has a column. When they've done a task without being reminded, they tap it. Tokens show as "pending" until a parent approves the day. Did something extra (watered the plants)? They add it themselves via οΌ‹ I did something extra….

3 Β· Approve the day (evening ritual)

Tap βœ” Approve today at the top. Review each kid's list β€” tap a task to cycle between not done β†’ done (token) β†’ reminded (done, but no token). Then tap Approve day and enter your 4-digit parent code: tokens are added for real. Missed a day? It waits as an amber chip at the top.

4 Β· Change the parent code

The parent code starts as 1234 β€” a banner reminds you until you change it. Tap πŸ”’ β†’ Code, enter a new 4-digit code twice, Save. Your family code lives on the same screen.

5 Β· Set up the tasks

Tap πŸ”’ β†’ Tasks. Each task has a name, a token value, a schedule β€” every day, certain days of the week (tap the day chips: sports bags on Tue/Thu/Sat, for example) or monthly β€” and checkboxes for which kids get it. Use ↑↓ to order the list, οΌ‹ Add task for new ones. Changes appear on the kids' lists immediately.

6 Β· Rewards β€” what tokens buy

Tap πŸ”’ β†’ Rewards to define your family's rewards: a name and a token cost each β€” small gelato 50, movie night 250, whatever motivates your kids. Set costs once and leave them; moving the goalposts mid-save feels unfair.

Rewards tab with names and token costs

Each kid taps their own progress bar to choose what they're saving for β€” their bar then counts toward that goal.

7 Β· Tokens & history

πŸ’‘ Our house rules: tasks they must do anyway β€” a token only if they did it unasked. ~20 tokens a day is achievable. Cash in small rewards often, or hold out for a big one β€” choosing is half the lesson.
